Watch Voldemort: Origins of the Heir For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I do not like fan movies.In fact, movies with poor stories/acting/filming do annoy me.But i am a fan, and i love Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and, more on the books side, Harry Potter (not only, mind you).Concerning fan made movies, i would like to relate a personal experience. If you propose yourself to watch a non professionally made production, the main thing you would have to do is to put yourself in an emotionally compatible state. You are going to see what amateurs writers, amateurs actors, amateurs cinematographers produced. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine how much fun they had scripting/portraing/filming their beloved characters. I find meself thinking "i want a little more" in this cases.I managed to do so. And, in doing it, enjoyed meself immensely watching some of the most entertaining productions fandom have produced. I find it fair to mention them here (supposing someone will eventually read this).The hunt for GollumThey have a site. As a great fan of the books, i know the impossibility of making a film that will satisfy me. That said, i loved the Bakshi animation and had to accept, despite my many observations, the Jackson film. This fan production is far beyond anything i would expect from amateurs, and, of course, reading more about the people that made it, they are, in fact, fans - and professionals.Born of HopeBeautiful story and acting, directed by a woman and that carries this special feminine sensibility. (Look for the site)Star TrekAfter the unfortunate recent foray to restart a new ST series, if you are a fan, do not despair! Try (in the mindset i sugested) Aurora, an animated story that i loved, and the exceptional Star Trek Continues.So, in watching the HP fan made movie, i have only one thing to say: "grazie mille, i miei amici italiani per aver reso il mio pomeriggio molto più divertente di quanto sarebbe stato senza il tuo brillante lavoro!" (sorry, google translation...)I really wonder if anyone read this things.Best regards!

I really wanted to like this, or at least find it interesting. I've been a Potterhead ever since I was a child and I always hope for the best whenever any new films, spinoffs, plays, etc. comes out. What was Voldemort's origin story? That's actually a pretty good idea for a side-story, so I hoped the filmmakers' will add some interesting twists to this question even if their work is amateurish.But nah. It practically told everything we already knew about.Even if you take the Harry Potter brand outside of this film, it's still pretty bad. A low budget and unknown actors shouldn't be your main source for criticism, sure, but poor execution is always hard to get past by. The story is convoluted and uninteresting, the acting (and dubbing) is poor, the dialogue is overripe, the characters (outside of a few exceptions) are two-dimensional. It's an amateurish production that's also a boring one.The cinematography, special effects, and lighting are actually competent and are almost worth being in your average Hollywood blockbuster. Some of the ideas are good. I liked the costumes and the very beginning. There was a lot of passion and hard-work behind the camera, and I will give credit there in an age of cynical, lazy cash-grabs.It really saddens me to leave such a harsh review on a Harry Potter-based story, and maybe I'm too narrow-minded of a viewer to not notice more positives. But Voldemort: Origins of the Heir just didn't do it to me as a fan and as a viewer. It isn't insanely stupid like that Cursed Child play book, but it's nothing more than a shrug. :( I'll review something good later. I'm tired of talking trash about everything 'cause I feel like a pessimist.

Im putting this into a "Fan Film" genre, just to have my rating make sense. If this was done by professionals, 2/10. Horrible Storyline, which could be done better even with an extremely low budget. Since it is NOT, easily 8/10. The Actor of Tom was great tho, I could see him play in a Professional made Movie for sure.

Forget the poor acting and dialogue, I get that it was a budget film. What I don't get is that they say it was made by 'Fans' but I felt as though they had never even read the books.I understand that fan fiction branches out from the original works however I felt they made major changes that in essence would make the works of JK Rowling not make sense. Such as the flash back where Merope (I assume) is cradling a baby Tom Riddle whilst playing with the necklace......? Or the fact that in the original books, there was such heavy emphasis on the fact that Tom Riddle didn't have any friends, only followers, yet hes chilling out in the room of requirement with some kids?The whole plot revolved around the heirs searching for the heirlooms, well any worthy gryffindor would know that the sword would present itself to them if them were in need!This is just a few of the major plot holes, I feel as though they completely wasted their time and there is no excuse for a bad plot. Voldemort was born bad, peeps need to get over it!
